Survey: Seniors Over 60 Daily Smartphone Usage Time First Exceeds 3 Hours

China Aging Science Research Center report shows seniors over 60 daily smartphone usage reaches 3.2 hours, up 150% from three years ago. But digital divide remains severe.

China Aging Science Research Center today released "2027 Elderly Digital Life Report."

Key findings:

  • Daily smartphone usage time for seniors over 60: 3.2 hours
  • Proportion of elderly who can use QR code payment: 68%
  • Still 42% of elderly feel "digital services are difficult to use"
  • WeChat is the most frequently used app by elderly

Report suggests internet companies should provide "age-appropriate digital services" to avoid elderly being marginalized in the digital society.
